What it’s like
The place. Dummerston is a small Vermont town in Windham County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, far more than across the county as a whole. Household incomes run well above the county's, and relatively few residents live below the poverty line. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, banks, insurance and property, and professional and business services also well represented. Across Windham County, some of the largest workplaces are Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, the Windham Southeast Unified Union School District and Landmark College. Many people also work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. The Rock River runs in or beside town, and Spofford Lake, Whetstone Brook and the Chesterfield Gorge Natural Area are each a short drive away. The Brattleboro Museum and Art Center is a short drive too, as is Fort Dummer, a historic fort. For a longer outing, the Deerfield River and other rivers lie a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Windham County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Windham County.
